Teeny: Another small thing like the beginning of the Season happens and they have to deal with it.... It will be sexual in nature too and it will be found that Frank sexually molested Teeny at the compound when Barb was sick and Nikki was taking care of Barb. Barb will be dertermined to have Frank put in Jail or killed either one
I think this would be a powerful storyline. I thought Teeny showing the neighborhood boys the Playboy magazine seemed a little far-fetched. But, if we find out that she was sexually molested, it would make more sense. Girl's of her age don't usually have much sexual curiosity unless they have an abuse background.

I would like to see more of Barb's mother.
It would be nice to see Alby come out of the closet and instead of being stoned or something just as evil, he is accepted and that in turn turns him into a nicer human being. Of course he has to survive that terrible "accident" first.
I really want Scott gone for good. I would love to see Sarah break free and live the lifestyle she calls normal if that's what she truly wants, but I don't like the idea of her marrying that creep, or anyone directly out of high school.
No more Ana!
That's for starters.

I totally and completely agree.
1. I don't want to see Roman gone, but they can't have him come back from the dead again.
2. I would like to see one of Alby's wives find out about his homosexual experiences. I would like to see one of Alby's wives pregnant by someone else. Maybe the same wife. He knows it's not his because he hasn't been with her for quite some time. Maybe she keeps his secret if he keeps hers and keeps her in the family.
3. I want strong Barb back too, but not mean Barb. I would also like to see more of her mother.
4. I want to know what happened to Rhonda. Maybe she comes back pregnant looking for a handout.
5. I would like to see Bill bribe Nikki to have another child. Maybe with a second honeymoon or something.
7. I would like to see Ben fall for someone at the compound. Someone who is not willing to leave for him. See Bill's conflicts when Ben considers joining for the girl. And see Alby's reactions to Ben trying to join. Of course I don't want it to happen in the end maybe the girl is given to some old guy.
8. I want Margene to have a real friend, someone her age. Doesn't matter who. The whole Margene and Ben thing is due to them not letting her have any friends. I think that is why she connects with Ben so much. Whoah, just thought what if her new real friend were a guy. I don't want her to be unfaithful, just maybe a little bit emotionally.
9. I would like to see Sarah's Mormon friend start dating or come out of the closet already. At least come out to Sarah. To her parents later and of course they blame her being gay on Sarah's families lifestyle.
10. I also want Scott to leave and never return, but I want it to be Sarah's choice. Maybe some other better looking guys comes into Sarah's life. He's only slightly older than Scott so Sarah feels okay about him, but not enough to tell her parents, maybe Nikki. They date a few episodes then Sarah finds out (oops) he's married. Not a polygamist, just married. Poor Sarah. Then she wonders if polygamist life would be easier, at least for the honesty, but of course she get rid of him.
11. I would like to see someone else take Roman's place. Maybe Adaline for a while before an unknown steps up.
12. No one is ever accused of Roman's murder. It is thought to be natural causes because he's old.
13. I'm not really an Ana fan (I was at first, but now she is kinda weird) so if she is gone for good than good riddance. However it would be interesting if Bill offered Nikki's house to Ana and that would bring Nikki back. The house bring her back not Bill. She is so materialistic sometimes.
14. would like to see all of the mom's working at least part time. or Barb back in school. I liked that. You can have more variety in the story.
15. would like them to have more independent polygamists like them. That are not a part of any compound or church. It would be interesting if they met a Mormon polygamist that was still active in the Mormon church because they had not found him out yet.
Wow that's a lot of stuff.

It seems as though Bill's legacy has become more important to him - a big family, large business ventures and perhaps founding a splinter religion? I think prepping Ben to be more involved with it all & help carry out these dreams would be interesting to see (while Ben struggles with the basics of becoming a man & the dynamic with Margene).
I think it'd also be interesting to see more of a relationship form between Sarah and Nikki as a result of their hardships...
Basically I've never been that interested in the Casino/money storylines - the family dynamics are what make the show so engaging to me & I've always thought more could be explored with the eldest children finding their way in this structure they've been born in to.

Here are my wishes:
Margene to keep making money and lots of it, I think she should quickly grow up and be more of a thorn in Barb's side then the pesky sex kitten.
Bill: keep him dark and dangerous
Nikki: Have her daughter be as psycho as she is or worse and it brings Nikki to the reality she must change to save her daughter..... weather it be Ray or someother man let her have a relationship that she wants to be in and someone who will care for her daughter with her..... I think it would be good if it were a LDS man so that Bill and Nikki struggle for custody of the boys will be even more entertaining and dramatic with her new relationship
Barb: Bring back the strong Barb she has gotten weak
Sarah: Gets married and moves in Nikki's house while she and scott work and go to school..... Scott starts to like the poly idea and it brings tension between the two
Ben: Ben has some homo experiences and somehow turns to Alby who convinces Ben to help him run the UEB and they become fast and furious friends (not sexual though Ben could do so much better)..... Bill is not amused.
Alby: More back story on alby's homo past and something for the future.... let him actually get laid and not by one of those ugly wives of his but have some real man sex, or even hook up with a younger compound boy who turns out to be younger than Alby thought since ages are not recorded.
Roman: Let him die but keep his ghost
Addeline: I like the thought of her and Lois the best somehow moving intogether and striking up an aliance.... that would put Joey and his mother on the outs and would be some good drama
Ray: Let him go after Bill only to find an alliance with Bill before it goes to far and they go after The GREENS
Selma: Insanity plea and wins.... they place Selma in a mental hospital where some other person from the J. Creek past is and another story line comes from there
Teeny: Another small thing like the beginning of the Season happens and they have to deal with it.... It will be sexual in nature too and it will be found that Frank sexually molested Teeny at the compound when Barb was sick and Nikki was taking care of Barb. Barb will be dertermined to have Frank put in Jail or killed either one
Joey: Gets away with Roman's Murder and it is blamed on Holis Green or one of his men.... Joey gets in trouble with the law for drinking only to be put in a jail cell with his father.... tension in sues but Joey's hate for Bill overcomes him and Joey and Frank put thier heads together for some Pay back time for Bill.
Wanda: wanda does real damage to someone and has to run..... she ends up with Barb's sister and brother in law for a while, it brings Barb and her sister closer together.
Anna: She comes back with twins, Bill brings her back into the fold and she but not before he has started dating a much younger hotter applicant for Nikki's replacement.
Don and Peg: Get mad at Bill and Barb and Don threatens to quit both home plus and weaber gaming..... He may even have a moment of believing that poly marriuage is all wrong and brings bad things upon them all.
There is a real letter that is found and Bill gets his hands on it and is smarter this time, except that the LDS church finds out he has it, They get pretty dirty and Bill gets sneaky and gets Barb back into the Church but does not really give up the letter..
These are just my thoughts.... I do like everyone else's thoughts though I am shocked to see peoples dislike for Anna and Scott on this show..... I am pretty found of both characters though I think some of Anna's storylines showed a very fast paced season down so I do see why some thought the season drug on at the first of the year.
I too would like to see more episodes..... This is one of the best shows I have ever seen and I would like to see it continue for a few more years, I also would like it to get more dramatic and dark as that should bring more watchers to the show.... The current writers are pretty darn amazing.... KUDOS to them and the producers....

True, but it's still kind of icky and raises a storm when it happens.

I, too, would like to know more about Alby and Nicki's upbringing.
I would LOVE to know more about Barb and Bill's story. Maybe some flashbacks to when he was a lost boy and her family took him in, their falling in love, and how/when he received his testimony about living the principle. I've long suspected that Roman blackmailed Bill into marrying Nicki when Barb was ill. I'd like to see more about how that all played out.
And most of all, I'd like to see the new season.. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I felt like I had to wait such a long time for this season to come around, certainly because of the infamous writers' strike that took forever, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send us the new shows just as soon as you can.
As my handle denotes, I am hooked on this show, I love it! More more MORE!

Tshuler: I love Adaleen! Actually, I've loved Mary Kay Place ever since she was on "Mary Hartman Mary Hartman" in the 70s! (yes, I'm old)

Nickifan posted:
Adaleen is shaken to the core after Roman's death, and leaves the compound before a recoverd Alby can seal her to someone else. She expects to stay with Nicki, but Nicki refuses her, so she looks for consolation with Lois!! Now there's a pair of plotters.
Finally, someone chimes in on Adaleen. I like all the places a plot like this can lead to!

It's really no different than step-siblings getting involved, if there's no blood relation. It certainly happens, especially when they first meet as teenagers.
If there is no blood relation, and the step-parent hasn't brought the child up, there is no true sibling relationship between them.

You're right. I don't think of Nicki as Ben or Sarah's mother. Or Teeny's. Hell, I don't see her as a mother to Margene's kids either. I see Margene and Barb as mothers to Wayne and Raymond though oddly enough. *shrug*
